Speaker 1 (00:10):
Alaska. Welcome to Friday Show Morning studio. Here we go
with our first fifteen seconds. He's our video producer. It's
produced one to day guys. I don't know if it's
called back getting your car broken into if you leave
your car unlocked, But that's what happened to my wife.
She went shopping, she left her car unlocks, she gets
back in and it's like just trash. Somebody had been
(00:32):
checking car doors in the parking lot, went through the car,
looked through the glove box and everything, didn't find anything.
But just my wife's like, oh my gosh, my car
got broken into. But I'm like, no, you unlocked your car.
It didn't get broken into. Semantic semantics, right. But but
I've heard this, I've heard cops for years just say like, hey,
don't leave valuables exposed, sitting on the seat or whatever,
and then lock your doors and your car has a
(00:55):
better chance of not getting broken into. So are you
saying then that if you leave it unlocked, everything's free
as a buffet. I mean the video surveillance video of
the parking lot, where like people just going car to
car to car and not break crazy, not breaking windows,
just checking handles, so broken into probably if you were
challenged on it, maybe because nothing was broken to get
into it. So we still understand somebody illegally got into
(01:17):
the car. They shouldn't have been in there. That stinks, though,
I don't like I don't like that. Oh it's it's
a terrible feeling. But really I think the lesson here
is just lock your cars, because that's really what they're doing.
But also she didn't put any valuable in there. She
had just cleaned her car out like two days. When
you're sure they did. Still think from the glove boxer
could have had her your identity stuff on it. No,
there's definitely that, and I called LifeLock to make sure.
(01:38):
But no, as far as things that we knew they
were in there, no, nothing got stolen. Usually deal anyway,
good luck, Okay, anyway, I'd be worried about it, as
we talked about yesterday. Been a part of the show
longer than anybody, well except for me, but here nineteen
years in. My favorite thing was he goes, I don't know,
two thousand and three, I don't know how many. I
don't know. Is that nineteen twenty but it's twenty twenty two.
(02:00):
But you didn't go twenty two to I just didn't
remember if it was two thousand and two, but then
I remember it was two thousand and three. It was
just my my years were confused. Anyway, here years then
and nineteen years ago. I would have never thought I
was gonna ever get married, But I found a woman
and I married her. And I'm gonna tell you why
I loved my wife was nice romance. Yeah, she's celebrating
(02:22):
her birthday yesterday, and leading up to her birthday, I said,
you know, what do you want for your birthday? She's like,
you don't have to get me a present. That's why
I loved my life. Wife keeps life simple and easy,
puts no pressure on me. So I didn't have to
get her a gift. It was don't have to she said,
but what you are would you really do? No? No No,
I didn't get her anything. She said, oh, you don't
(02:42):
have to give me a present. How'd that go? Cool?
It went great? So she meant it. That's weird. I mean, yeah,
I think she's probably secretly disappointed. Then, yeah, because she
didn't have to. But in Austin, if you would have,
but when she says, hey, oh, don't worry about it.
It's great. May she say, don't worry about it, or
you don't have to get me a gift. Well, that's
just different things. We had a cake and we saying
(03:04):
happy birthday, and that was it perfect. That is why
I love my wife. I mean, yeah, I guess he
likes that she's low maintenance. I still think she wanted
to gift. Yeah, but what about his birthday? I do too,
Like is he expecting a gift from her? Course? Yeah,
I always expect the present. It's my present. Yeah, yeah,
so he's to Lunchox's pot LUNCHALKX. Would never say to her,
(03:27):
you don't have to get me. Yeah, I can't wait
to see what you're getting me from my birthday. That's
what I would tell her. All Right, I think, what's
seventeen years in we've been together seventeen years. Here's Amy everybody, Okay,
so we've I told y'all Mike d got an early
screening on my movie, and I don't know when he's
gonna watch it. But I am very nervous about it,
Like I thought about it all last night when I
(03:47):
was sleeping. Yeah, I'm a little mortified for everyone to
see it. But especially my d because he critiques movies.
So on the show, probably Monday Movie Mike, we'll review
Amy's movie, Oh Boy, Holiday Harmony. I mean, the movie
is gonna be great, I have no doubt about that,
but I'm nervous about that. Well. I mean, I feel
like the people that are behind it, I'm I know
(04:09):
they're super proud of their work. I think it's really cool.
I'm just nervous about him critiquing my scene. But there
are Tom Hanks movies the occasionally come out that are bad,
oh yeah, for sure, and people that have had great
track records to doing movies. Yeah. So I don't think
anything's free and clear. Hey, movie Mike Monday's show, all
we ask of you is be honest, as if Amy
(04:30):
had nothing to do with it. Ben, I will say
one thing. Christmas movies my least favorite genre. He's setting
you up though, because he's gonna be like the surprise,
pull the carton off a plus. Okay, well, Christmas reason
are my favorite. You know, when I was watching Laney
on Yellowstone, I didn't feel awkward even though I knew her.
I think because it's you gotta be really good, because
(04:52):
you're just like I know her really well, it's oh no,
it's gonna be awkward. You're gonna have to be such
a good actress that it's got to remove the awkward.
I zero acting lessons at all, whatsoever in my entire life.
Don't make excuses name. Yeah, hey, let's just go for it. Yeah,
she lady's taking acting now, he's a coach. No, I'm
sure for those things I heard, she did nothing. I
(05:12):
heard she d know she was acting. They just wow,
blindfolded her, dropped off and said, okay, say stuff amazing.
Okay right now, No, I'm not. We just haven't. No,
I'm actually like really pumped for her, and I'm pumped
for myself because I am using the same coach that
she has. Well, so we'll see what happens. We might
(05:33):
be honest. Okay is it that to me now? Yea, yeah,
go ahead. Ray from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He built her
career on a microphone. As a result, commuters are never alone,
Bobby bum, thank you very much. Good. I want to
I want to actually take take the mirror here and
hold it up to Ray for a second, because I
don't know if you guys heard. We'll say this first,
I have a relationship with Draft Kings. They're a big client.
(05:54):
I use them a lot. I love sports. We do
a podcast called twenty five Whistles, and I think if
you can responsibly bet, that's amazing. It's a lot of fun.
You can five bucks here, five bucks there, watch games.
I mean a little more. It's entertainment. But Ray is
now the voice of Draft Kings responsible gambling. How did
that come about? No idea, but maybe they heard my
story about how I gambled. I do rent money and stuff,
(06:16):
but I've changed and I do responsible betting. And that's
what the commercials about this. I heard it and I
was proud for you because you've had issues with gambling,
but you went, you got You're good. Now you got help,
You're good. Yeah. You can set limits and you can
freeze the accounts. You're not in there every day, which
is amazing. You can you can set limits to where
before because sometimes if you're like, oh, yeah I need
(06:37):
to get I need to catch double catch. But you
can actually go on Draft Kings and set it so
you don't do that ahead of time. So Ray, do
you have your commercial? Yeah? I got it right here?

It is time to open up the mailbag air get something.
We call GETO Bobby Bones. Might daughter is in first
(08:00):
grade and having her birthday party. The school requires that
she invite the entire class. There have been cement sidence
between her and a classmate. He's not always kind to
her and sometimes makes fun of her. She doesn't want
him to come. I'm hoping that his mom and dad
don't our SVP. But if they do, can I tell
them what's happening and that we don't want them to come.
Thanks for your help, Sign mom baffled by the bully.
(08:24):
That's interesting that you would if they I would just
think it would either be you don't you don't invite them,
or you do invite them, you don't invite them, and
then go don't come. That's weird. But her hands are
tied because the school requires that. That's a weird thing
for a school to require something at home. I agree,
and I know why. I get it. Yes, but it's
(08:46):
a weird thing for the school to require something that
you're doing that's not at school, especially, you know, I
think this is maybe a good time to explain to
her why kids bully, and you could even teach her
sympathy for the bully, which may not last if he
still has a jerk after you exhibit the first bit
(09:06):
of kindness towards them. But you'd be like, look, this
is why he's probably mean, do you. It can be
tough at home. He might like you, boys are stupid
and they do. They react that way and these for
those reasons. You know, I think you probably invite them
and if they say yes, he comes and you work
(09:27):
with her on how to handle the situation. I think
that's probably the best learning example there. It is not comfortable,
won't be comfortable for her, but it could actually fix
the problem too. Let's say the kick comes over and
has a great time. Let's say he gets all the
snacks and has cake. He probably won't come. Now, I'll
be honest with you, Yeah he probably won't come, But
if he does, I think you it's uncomfortable. But sometimes
(09:50):
in life it's uncomfortable. And I know that's one in
our first grade lesson, but it could start there. Anyway
you think about this, man, I mean, it's definitely a
good learning moment, like you said, but I'm leaning towards
contacting the school and saying, hey, we're not going to
invite everyone because there is a bullying problem, and I
think the school can finally, Oh, I didn't know there
was a bullying problem. Let's see if we can handle
(10:11):
this too and put it on the school because the
bullying is happening at school, right. Yeah, but can I
say that if you don't invite this kid, he's the
only one not invited, and everybody comes back and was invited,
you think the bullying was bad, then it's gonna be worse. Yeah.
As someone who got to crap beat out of them
a lot. Anytime I did stuff with anybody else and
the bully wasn't there, I felt it doubley when the
bully was there. So I understand what you're saying, and
(10:34):
I for sure sign off on that understanding. But you're
gonna make them the one. Okay, wait till you get back,
because you're about to be the one real big Yeah,
that's not good and you don't want that for your child,
So that is a scenario I will lean back towards yours. Then. No,
I'm just telling you what it was like for me,
and think about that. Yeah, I've had to had this
conversation with my son before of like some kids that
(10:56):
were mean to him, and when I talk to him
about possibly why they were bullying him, he did open
up and he did start to have some compassion for them.
And so I think Bobby's method of having this conversation
with your daughter. It's a bummer that it is a
birthday and she might have to put up with it,
but the odds are he, like Bobby said, he's probably
not going to come. But when we're honest with our
kids about what's happening, I think we get more out
(11:18):
of it. It's probably gonna be nicer to you if
he's at your house and eating your cake. Yeah that's true. Honestly,
he's probably gonna be nice and it may fix it.
But here's a situation. If he still mean when you
go back to school after this, then the whole compassionate
thing is kind of out the door, because you can't
keep hugging on somebody who's stabbing you because it hurts.
So you do it once, maybe one and a half times,
and then the lesson is some people in life you
(11:39):
just get away from and you gotta get to that point.
I'm sorry, you have to deal with this. But I
think it's a good time to start the conversation. If
I had the bully over, give a big, extra big
piece of cake, show him love. He probably isn't getting it,
and that's why he's bullying. Good luck. And I know
that this email is about a first grader, but I
feel like a lot of adults hearing this, could you know,
benefit believe in this room every day relationship. We still
(12:02):
invite Lunchbox to our birthday already. Yeah, hurt people, hurt people.
Lunch Box is probably hurting at times. Yeah, and that's okay.
That's okay, buddy, No, not hurting. It's let's go skin
to skin. I'll give you a hug. No, I don't
need a hug. Okay, skink skin. I'm good. We've got
your That was about the clothes by time. Now for
(12:30):
fun fact Friday. Fun Fact Friday. These are the most
random but the most fun facts we could find. We
just searched the internet for the most fun things to
talk about. We have five of them. Amy, your first, Well,
this is fun, but it's also going to keep you safe.
A car that is going five miles under the speed
limit on the highway is more likely to cause an
accident that someone that's going five miles over the speed limit.
(12:53):
Did they say why anything? It's because, yeah, maybe when
you're going faster you go with the flow and like
it's easier getting out when you slow things down. I
don't know, but I kind of said this one for you.
Because you drive slow, I would think people would hit
you more than if you're driving slow, you would hit
them right. I would think you're clogging the road about
me saying I think that I do that. I think
you're right. Once Eddie drove up on me and was like,
(13:14):
who is this guy clogging the road? It was just
slowing traffic now, And sure enough it was Bobby, there's
a fifty five near work. This should be a seventy five.
Everyone was going about sixty sixty five. But I understand
why you're slowing down and you got popped one time.
You're talking to mister no ticket. I got a ticket there, yea.
And the speed lim it's fifty five and there's no
reason it shouldn't be seventy. But that was like, it
was funny because I was like maybe a year before,
(13:36):
so a year later you were still abiding by the
rules and going fifty five. That's amazing there are I
would say, if I looked at the pie, ninety percent
of that pie is me being a rule follower and
someone who is doing the right thing because it's the
right thing to do. And there's ten percent of me
who djaf And it's just like I'll break every rule
possible in my career. That's been what it is like.
(13:57):
I will push and kick walls down, but like life,
I ain't turning the jailer. Pay money. Yeah, I don't
want to be fine, that's wasted money. I can buy
shoes with that. You know what I mean? I know
what you mean. All right, it's got a lunchbox. Lunchbox?
What do you have? Koalas? You know those little koala bears.
They are so cute and everyone wants to cuddle with them.
Will be careful. A koala cuddle could give you chlamydia.
Half of the koala population has a strand of klamydia,
(14:18):
and if you're holding them and they pee on you,
you can be infected. I can for sure see some
of our dude listeners finding making a trick purposefully to
a koala and be like, oh you got pet on them?
Oh I can't believe it. Ye see what happened was
to see the koala gave me. Oh my god. They
search it out just so they have that excuse. Here's mine.
The Mall of America in Minnesota does not have a
(14:38):
central heating system. Which, by the way, it's the biggest
mall in the world. I've been there. It's amazing. It's huge,
and it's it's not hot heated. It does not have
a central heating system. A combination of skylights, all the
regular lights, and people's body heat keep it so warm
that they don't have to run any sort of heat
in the winter. Crazy to think our body and I bet, well,
(14:59):
you know you you're warmer if you're naked. So I'm saying,
if you're ever trapped somewhere where it's cold and you
have body to body or two people, you should be
skin to skin to survive. It's like sixty nine your
bedroom or seventy's better. I heard, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do
you know if you're ever like in a snowstorm and
you get trapped, if you kill the horse and cut
(15:20):
the insides out and get inside the horse and over
your body, that's the way to stay warm. Really, you
gotta gut. It gonna take a while. You might freeze then,
but then you can get inside of it. It's warm,
all right. Let's go over to Morgan. The average person
spends just two weeks of their life sitting at traffic lights.
Just two weeks, just two weeks more. There's an impression
(15:42):
you made every traffic light. And I'm at the light right,
I'm on the car in the front of the line.
Here's an ipressure of me. Huh oh, I should go oh,
they're honking you. Yeah. Oh. Because it's the only time
I look at my phone when I'm sitting in traps safe,
I will not. I won't occasionally glance up maps if
I'm in a map. But that's why a bad thing?
(16:03):
Why does the worst? If have a map, I will
be looking at it sometimes, but I don't text on
it while I drive, but I will if I'm sitting
in a light. Totally go full tweet, Eddie. Guys, Superman
didn't always fly, so the very original Superman, he was
just a leaper. He would jump from building to building building.
But then in the nineteen forties the animators were like, guys,
it's just hard to draw the bend knees like you know,
(16:26):
so like his legs are at an angle, so let's
just make him straight and he'll fly. And so ever
since then he flies. It's pretty lame. Superhero is that crazy?
He just leaped from building the building. But they were like,
this is just too much work. Let's just make him fly.
That's pretty cool. See you look at all these fun facts.
You could take away your work or over the weekend.
That's why it's fun Fact Friday, Thank You fund. It's
(16:49):
time for the good news. Good So when you're battling cancer,
it's kind of becomes your job for you and your family,
and it can be really taxing. So having a place
to get away and go, especially for free, would be
pretty awesome, right, Well, a lot of patients are getting
to do that thanks to this one woman's nonprofit called
(17:11):
Little Pink Houses of Hope. Her name is Janine Patton Cobble,
and she's in remission for breast cancer herself, so she
knows what it's like to battle cancer and what she
does is around the country she convinces homeowners and property
managers to donate their homes for a week long stay
for patients, Like She'll go to them and say, hey,
can you take this one week out of the year
(17:31):
and donate it to this patient that would like to
get away with their family. And that's how she's able
to pull it off and do it and they get
a free stay. So I just thought that was a
really genius thing that she came up with. Yeesh, changed
a lot of lives doing that. That's a great story. Yeah,
that is what it's all about. That was tell me
something good. Friday morning conversation with Brookshields brood morning. How
are you? Oh good? How are you? I'm doing pretty good.
(17:54):
I was listening to your podcast. Man, you guys go
right at it. I mean, it's like it's like real
deal stuff. It's a you go right to the point.
It's very vulnerable, but it's also like super authentic. What
you're so famous? Did you have some some urge to
just put it all out there? Finally? You know? It's
it's funny. I just when you've been around this long,
you sort of find that there are only certain areas
(18:17):
in which you really get to be authentically yourself and heard,
and that's in writing a book or doing something that
is relatively life like like a podcast. I never really
set out to do a podcast, but now what came
to my mind one day and I said, you know,
everybody that you think you know, or that you have
(18:39):
an expectation about or a preconception, they've all had these
now well at moments, and I thought, I think people
know that I'm not going to try to catch them
in something, but I'm vulnerable enough so that they feel safe,
you know. I mean, it's it's an odd thing. I'm
having so much fun with it. I'm getting better at it.
I was a little I was a little not very
(19:01):
journalistic in the beginning. I basically, having been on the
other side for so many decades, I would find myself
giving them permission not to answer any of the questions.
And then I got better at it. Have you found
yourself sharing a story and then going oh, man, was
that did I just share too much? Like havn't actually question?
And then you allowed it to exist? But then you
(19:23):
were happy you did. Well. What would be an example
of that where you were like, oh, I'm really putting
it out there. I think, you know, really just airing
insecurities in a way that is not polished. You know,
I will say a book you can sort of you.
You can work with words and you can sort of
get what you want out, but but you're still sort
of hiding behind a book. And I think just admitting
(19:47):
to being scared at times and really insecure and and
you know, falling into the traps that other women over forty.
I'm fifty seven, but sel and you know, as you're
saying it, you think, oh God, am I going to
sound like I'm whining or poor me? And and then
(20:07):
you listen to it and you're thinking, no, it's just
I'm I am a woman like many other women, and
we all go through things. So that's scary at first,
but then when you hear it, you think, I've been
really honest. How are you getting I know the answer
probably because you're just cool and have a lot of
cool friends. But are you get a lot of a
A plus less guests? Do you have to lure them in, like,
come on, guys, trust me, it's a lot of fun.
(20:28):
Or are they just pretty willing to hop in as well?
I think they're pretty willing to hop in. I mean
a lot of it is, you know, around they don't
want to do it unless they're promoting something, which I
totally understand, or if it's too close around a certain
incident that is so fraught in people's minds, you know,
they're a bit hesitant. And but nobody has said anything
is off limits. And there have been people that have
(20:51):
been that are very clear in how they want to
answer the question before the question even gets asked. And
there are some that are, you know, just very skilled
at not answering the question. And even those people have
at the end said, wow, you kind of got that
out of me. But it didn't feel mean, or it
didn't feel like an I got you a moment, or
(21:13):
it didn't feel like it pulled out headline that that's
what's gonna that's the sound bite that we're gonna just
base the whole interview on. I did see a clip that,
again was a sound bite, because again, you do you
talk about so much. But I saw there was one
where you were talking about actors that you had dated,
and it kind of became a big story. Do you
know sometimes when you're telling these stories that it's probably
(21:33):
going to be picked up? Yeah? Oh yeah. I mean
I joke with my publicist because I'll say, I'll say
under my breath, I'll say SoundBite or you know, that's
the headline, and it becomes just a game because it
seems so reductive and typical, and you know what I mean,
(21:55):
it's like everybody's desperate for the for the sound bite
and the one line. You know, this has started since
I was a virgin, and that became everybody's main focus,
which is ridiculous on many levels. So I've been dealing
with this for a few decades. Now, do you feel
like you had at all a normal childhood? You know,
(22:17):
I've been asked that question forever, and I don't know
what normal is Conventional. No, when other kids were playing
soccer or whatever the sports were, I was going to
photo studios at Avadans and Scolulo, and you know, doing
I was earning a living, so it's not conventional. But
(22:38):
my mom never let me leave go to professional children's school,
and I never lived in Los Angeles until until I
was doing a television show, and so there was this
work life and then real life, and real life was
with my mom and then with my dad in separate
families and regular school. So for you know, until I
(23:01):
was twenty in my twenties, well twenty one, I was
in a regular school schedule, and that was about as
normal and as normally pressured as it can be. My
vacations were not conventional, and my extracurricular activities were not,
but my mom always made the production send a girlfriend
(23:23):
with me or send my sister with me, and so
I always had this sort of grounding of a twelve
year old, a thirteen year old, a fifteen year old.
I wasn't always surrounded by adults, so the two of
us could sort of get together and giggle about how
crazy we thought adults were. So to me, I think,
I think it's actually pretty normal, almost more normal than
(23:45):
some of my normal friends. Do you what I find
super impressive about you is that you at Princeton? I mean,
do you find people are often shocked at that fact?
Always they were shocked the day I got in, and
then the whole kind of campaign started with why did
she get in? Did she just get in because she
was famous? And then when I get to school, all
the teachers wanted to make sure that they weren't giving
(24:08):
me any extra ten, so they graded me harder and
they were, you know, less, they just because they had
something to prove as well. And then over time, just
my work ethic was so intact. What was strange was
coming out of college my freshman term, first term, freshman year,
(24:30):
and having a press conference because they thought, you know,
if you do a press conference about what it's like,
what your you know, your real life is like, they'll
leave you alone. And the press were shocked by a
level of maturity that they hadn't seen in me prior. Yeah,
(24:51):
I wasn't looking to anybody for my answers anymore. I wasn't.
I wasn't worrying that an answer wasn't going to be okay.
And I was using bigger words, you know, because here
I am at Princeton thinking I better use bigger words.
And I don't think they liked it. They didn't like
non malleable Brook. Suddenly Susan was a show I'll watched
(25:12):
all the time, loved it, And a lot of these
shows are coming back reboot form. Have they come to
you and said, let's do Suddenly Susan again? If they did,
I'd probably say yes without even them getting the question out.
But I don't think that we were ever. First of all,
they canceled us at ninety eight, so we never Yeah,
it was all a nice little plan that they had intact,
(25:33):
which I didn't know about, which I will say I've
got a little bitterness or maybe a lot of bitterness
about that, but not from a syndication financial standpoint, just
from you know, how wonderful it was to do that show.
I mean, we just were so happy, and then tragedy
befell the show and we lost one of our cast
(25:55):
members and it kind of was never the same again.
And I think I I think Warner Brothers or NBC
would probably argue we were never a big enough hit
to merit a reboot. Now shows get picked up for
eight or nine. We never had a season that was
fewer than twenty three, twenty two, twenty six, you know,
(26:15):
so it in these days that would be a huge hit.
And then back then, you know, we didn't get two hundreds,
so they sort of checked us off. I can't believe
they got it to ninety eight purposeful. Yeah, well then
that's almost mean. I mean, that's mean. Well, I think
it's a financial thing. I mean, all these things end
up being financial. You know, we think they're personal because
we're living in it day in and day out, and
(26:37):
we're performing in front of a live audience and we're
having to think on our feed and we're getting new
scripts every day, so we're so in it, and and
then you realize, oh, it's just a money game. After
a certain number, this entity doesn't pay for a production anymore.
It switches over to this entity and they may or
may not want to do that. So it's the same
(26:58):
thing would happened suddenly Lipstick Jungle. We were number one
for a while and then TiVo came into existence, and
practically overnight all of our advertisers pulled out because people
were fast boarding through the commercials. So it didn't even
matter how much people loved us watching us, they wanted
(27:21):
to fast forward through the commercials, and there for all
that money practically overnight gets now you know, now they've
found ways around it. But we were right at the
on the sort of precipice of TiVos, so that was
sort of you know, that happened too. So these things
you'd think they're mean only because they feel personal. And
the older I get, the less personal I realize it
(27:44):
all is right. Now we're talking to actress Brookshield, Hey,
how good are you at memorizing scripts? So I have
about twelve pages to do tomorrow for this project that
I'm doing and I have not started to memorize it.
But you can. You can do do all twelve of
a night. Yeah, I can. I have this. It's some
a you have to put yourself in a position where
(28:05):
you can still listen, and that's the that's the trick,
so that you're not just reciting words. But I memorize
things based on where they are on the page. So
when I think about where a page as I haven't highlighted,
I'm such a geek boat. I mean, I highlight and
I note and I make red notes. And my husband says,
(28:26):
you're such a dork, But um, yeah, I don't. I'm
I'm trained to have to think quickly. You know a
lot of the time when you do these commercials, before
they had teleprompters and before they had in back in
my day, you know, or in the day. I still
feel like it's my day, but you didn't have teleprompters.
(28:47):
You had to memorize everything. And so I think I
just got trained. Brookshields is on with us and I
encourage you guys to check out our podcast Now what
with Brookshields. It is a very authentic, very vulnerable. It's
an original podcast that examines pivotal moments and people's lives. Again,
it's very honest. It's a great podcast. And then also
coming from you, that's a that's a big deal. I mean,
(29:08):
this is I'm coming into a world I've I've never
been in, and um, then it's been very well received,
and I thank you. And I didn't think people would
really want to hear me anymore in my life and
people do se do want to be interested in hearing
my guests. Well, I hope people check it out. And
then there's also Holiday Harmony coming out on HBO Acts
(29:28):
and so when that when a movie like that comes
to you, and we have a special interest here with
that movie because if you put the camera on Amy
for one second, Amy has like four line five lines
are still on the movie. Yes she does, and you
see her in the trailer. I mean, for he looked
so beautiful in the trailer about you. I didn't get
to meet you, Oh, I know. I was there the
last day of filming, so you've already done with your scenes,
(29:48):
and I was definitely excited to possibly see you. So
to see you now fun. So I was I was
way up with the alpaca farmers and up in Northern
cal they bring me to Hollywood. How does like a
Christmas movie? Because it's been Amy's dream forever to do
like a holiday movie, and now they're super cool again,
and how does a Christmas movie come to you? Do
(30:11):
you go, I'd like to do a holiday movie because
they are so cool now, or do they go Brook
we got this perfect idea. It's a really good movie
for the holidays. For a while, holiday movies were sort
of taboo, you know they were they were sort of, Oh,
you're doing a Hollywood movie. That means like it's not
I mean, you're doing a Christmas movie or a holiday movie.
That means that you're not doing real edgy stuff. Well,
(30:31):
for sure, all I've never really been a g in
that way. They come to me and I'm prepared to
not like them because they're pretty formulaic. And then every
now and then one will come up, or two now
and to twisted my second one, but that will touch
(30:52):
a chord and be an escape. And I think that
that's what that's what I love about them, is if
the especially if they're directed well, and if they have
enough of a story that does deviate from just the
regular holiday Christmas formula movie, and I mean I read
a lot of them, and I don't say yes to
(31:15):
most of them. I did one last year for Netflix,
which was extraordinarily popular and it was so much fun
to do, and it was called Castle for Christmas. And
these movies come out again. It's funny because then they
bring them back out again for the next holiday and
they're sort of like, oh, I just think for me
(31:35):
rom coms. Holiday movies they're based in joy. You sort
of know how they're going to turn out, but you
still want to be on the journey with it and
just looking at the news and just being in the world.
It's just so hard these days that these kind of
movies are wonderful escape. I would compare holiday movies now
(31:55):
to game shows, where for a long time I wouldn't
take a game show because I was like, game shows
are and if I ever do and host a game show,
then I'm always going to be a game show host. However, then,
but now they're really cool again. I think Steve Harvey
kind of brought that back where you could be a
real talent and be funny, and then everybody's doing game shows,
and now everybody wants to do a game show I would.
I think those two kind of run alongside each other.
(32:16):
I think you made a great point there. For a
long time it was like, we don't want to do that,
but now like you almost want to do host a
game show or a holiday movie. Well, you know, it's
funny because everything is, you know, everybody, there was a
time when oh, you would never be a TV actress?
Oh god, no, you know, and then you know, Helen
Hunt comes and does you know? Mad about you? And
(32:37):
I was obsessed with it and I was like, wait
a minute, she could do it. I can do that.
And prior to them, you wouldn't touch TV, you know.
And then there are all these sort of taboos that
come around, and I think, slowly but surely, the joy
that is in all of these emerges and everything's I
don't think there's anything off limits anymore. I think the
(32:58):
crossover is I mean amazing. You know, look at what
Julie Roberts and Clooney just did a did a rom
com sort of movie like that, and we just flock
to it because it opens up your heart a little
bit and it's escapism. Well, Brooke, we're big fans, and
I hope everybody checks out now what with Brooke Shields.
(33:18):
It's a wonderful podcast, and I hope they check out
Brooke and her co star Amy. Yes. Yes, Holiday Harmony
on HBO Max. That is out November twenty fourth, which
is Thanksgiving, right, yeah, it's Thanksgiving Day. And I was
told by Lauren Swickard, who's one of the writers and producers,
that I guess like technically am a supporting role. That's
my Oscar Oscar. Then you're competing against Brook and for
(33:43):
supporting actress. Yes, yes, yes, Brooke, big fan. Thank you
very much, good luck with the podcast, and we appreciate
your time this morning. Thank you, appreciate yours. Hope to
see you in person one day. All right, Caroline from Austin, Texas. Okay,
I know this is I go running joke secret whatever.
Will there ever be a moment in time where you
(34:05):
guys will tell us what NLR means? Lunchmarks and I
have used this for fifteen years. We rarely use it,
but if we really want to dial in and go,
are you telling me the truth? Like all jokes aside,
radio aside, bits aside's aside, we go NLR. We just
don't really talk about what it means. It's kind of
(34:27):
much of our code. Yeah, we've had longer than fifteen.
I mean when I joined the show over sixteen years ago,
y'all were doing it, and I still don't know what
it means. Oh, there you have it, so no, I
guess you won't, Caroline. I hear Stephanie and Kentucky. Hey,
Bobby Morden's studio, I need you to settle a debate
for me. I need to know is it all of
(34:49):
a sudden or all of the sudden? I don't think
I know the right answer, but I know how I
say it. All of the sudden, all of the sudden. Again,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna bet any money on it,
but I say, all of this sudden, that's crazy. What
the real one is? You say? Uh, I'm like you, Amy, Yeah,
all of a sudden, all of all of the sudden.
(35:10):
I was out, do your teas here for the pile,
and we'll find out what it is after this because
I don't know what it is. But and I say
a lot of things wrong, like slang because the South.
My vernacular is very Southern. He's Amy's pile of stories.
So if you're doing grocery shopping this weekend for Thanksgiving.
I highly recommend it because you're going to get to
(35:31):
the store ahead of time, and it's been of going
next week last minute. And if you don't want to
make homemade gravy, well, a gravy test was done and
the best canned gravy was revealed and it is found
at Walmart. What is it? It's the great value going
to Walmart? Wmart? Here? Where is it? It's the Walmart
brand great value, which is awesome because you're going to
(35:53):
get a great value on it too. Well, here's the thing.
If you do go early, like Amy's saying, yeah, you'll
still go right before. He doesn't want to get as much.
There's always something you've always gotta go. You just don't
want to have to go and get a lot of things. Yes,
but great values number one. Yeah, the least favorite turkey
gravy went to Trader Joe's. The saltiest turkey gravy went
to High and the best and then the middle of
(36:14):
the road gravy Campbell's. So there you go, that's your
grave vy. Are gonna be that pick? Give it in
one or two graves up there. I love white gravy
way more than brown gravy, but thanksgivings brown gravy. Thanksgiving
is whatever I like to eat to give thanks, it's
always white gravy. You got her? Yeah, I mean traditionally no. No,
But you're just saying based on what you like and
(36:35):
what you've been accustomer. No, I like white gravy. You're
hater white gray hat. I don't even like gravy. What
else you got? Okay, so we're over halfway through November.
Have the holidays officially started for you, like the Christmas season? Yeah,
because I've already been buying guest for people. You feel it, okay, Yeah, already? Yeah. Wow. Well,
it's just this is a robust list, and so there's
(36:56):
also an expectation on me. Therefore, I was always somebody
who got all my homework done. Maybe not always ahead
of time, but I was always in a good place
to be able to do it effectively and do a
good job. And I do that now with how I
live my life too. Christmas gifts included well, people were
asked when the Christmas spirit starts for them, and the
number one answer was a tie between putting your tree
(37:18):
up that's when it becomes official and hearing Christmas music
on the radio for the first time, that's when you
know Christmas is here. Yeah, but unless you're on a
Christmas station. Really, stations don't do it anymore until it's
like the twenty third or two. Oh really, yeah, it's
a different time. Maybe it's just the first song you
hear because we played were I think we were probably
the first. We did Brett Eldress, we were like, all right, first, yes, summer,
(37:41):
it's the most which. Speaking of Brett Eldridge, he tested
out some music on his nephew. It's a song called
You'll Be Mine and here is the unplugged version be Vership.
He has Nevvy's a baby and he was playing guitar
(38:02):
on a bed for the baby and the baby's like,
let me touch the guitar, and he's like, no, no,
I'm doing a thing here, let me play. You gotta
go to Bret's Crostment show if it comes near year.
We asked for tickets for you. Yeah, I think I
think you got him. Oh okay, cool, Yeah, yeah, I'm
so excited. Randomly gotta go. Texted Brett and I was like, hey,
let me four tickets to that show in New York.
(38:23):
It was like a coming to New York. I was like, well,
they're not for me. He's like, oh, okay, isn't there
a framie, a friend and kids. He's like, oh, all right,
let me let me see if I sold out. Let
me see it. And I was like, well, don't worry
about don't worry about it. Oh god no. But then
he's like, I got no, it's no problem. They kick
some people out. Well, that's the thing that the wheelchair.
(38:44):
Second they removed it. No, I told randomly last minute,
you're good, You're good, no problem. I have no problem
asking him. You're a friend, no problem. Yes, okay, thank you,
I'm Amie. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news. Guys. Get ready, We're
(39:12):
about to go on an emotional roller coaster. Man Dakota
has been with his girlfriend Lauren for seven years, and
he finally decides, you know what, I'm gonna go buy
an engagement ring. He buys it, and he hides it
in the closet, waiting for that day to propose. Get
down on one knee, and then all of a sudden,
a couple of weeks later, the wind starts picking up.
It's a tornado take cover and their house is destroyed.
(39:36):
They lose everything, The engagement ring is gone. He's devastated.
He has to go to Lauren and say I had
the engagement ring. It was hidden in the house. It's
lost forever. But then the Paris Community College softball team
shows up and they start looking and digging. They're like,
we're not leaving until we find it. Hour later, seven
yards away, two centimeters under the dirt, they find the
(39:57):
engagement ring and the code there. Yeah, that's what it says.
Exact location, No exact location. And Dakota is like, oh
my goodness. He gets the ring. He gets down on
one knee and he proposes looking pass out. Y'allah. This
is so good. They gave him their side. They got
(40:24):
a oh my goodness, guys, you thought it was such
devastation in the beginning, the house destroyed, the tears, You're like, oh,
and then you're crying tears of joy right now, Wow,
lets tell me something good side good. You know, got
an emotional rollercoaster. You're excited. He bought the engagement room.
And then the tornado comes and destroys their house. And
then the climax at the end where they find it
(40:46):
and they get engaged. That look at him. Wow, Dada
and Lauren and they got in invite that softball team.
They got to go to the wedding there for sure,
the whole softball to batting practice the night before as
part of the party. I like it. Yeah, great story, Lunchbox.
That is what it's all about. That was telling me
(41:07):
something good.
Alaska. Welcome to Friday Show Morning studio. Here we go
with our first fifteen seconds. He's our video producer. It's
produced one to day guys. I don't know if it's
called back getting your car broken into if you leave
your car unlocked, But that's what happened to my wife.
She went shopping, she left her car unlocks, she gets
back in and it's like just trash. Somebody had been
(00:32):
checking car doors in the parking lot, went through the car,
looked through the glove box and everything, didn't find anything.
But just my wife's like, oh my gosh, my car
got broken into. But I'm like, no, you unlocked your car.
It didn't get broken into. Semantic semantics, right. But but
I've heard this, I've heard cops for years just say like, hey,
don't leave valuables exposed, sitting on the seat or whatever,
and then lock your doors and your car has a
(00:55):
better chance of not getting broken into. So are you
saying then that if you leave it unlocked, everything's free
as a buffet. I mean the video surveillance video of
the parking lot, where like people just going car to
car to car and not break crazy, not breaking windows,
just checking handles, so broken into probably if you were
challenged on it, maybe because nothing was broken to get
into it. So we still understand somebody illegally got into
(01:17):
the car. They shouldn't have been in there. That stinks, though,
I don't like I don't like that. Oh it's it's
a terrible feeling. But really I think the lesson here
is just lock your cars, because that's really what they're doing.
But also she didn't put any valuable in there. She
had just cleaned her car out like two days. When
you're sure they did. Still think from the glove boxer
could have had her your identity stuff on it. No,
there's definitely that, and I called LifeLock to make sure.
(01:38):
But no, as far as things that we knew they
were in there, no, nothing got stolen. Usually deal anyway,
good luck, Okay, anyway, I'd be worried about it, as
we talked about yesterday. Been a part of the show
longer than anybody, well except for me, but here nineteen
years in. My favorite thing was he goes, I don't know,
two thousand and three, I don't know how many. I
don't know. Is that nineteen twenty but it's twenty twenty two.
(02:00):
But you didn't go twenty two to I just didn't
remember if it was two thousand and two, but then
I remember it was two thousand and three. It was
just my my years were confused. Anyway, here years then
and nineteen years ago. I would have never thought I
was gonna ever get married, But I found a woman
and I married her. And I'm gonna tell you why
I loved my wife was nice romance. Yeah, she's celebrating
(02:22):
her birthday yesterday, and leading up to her birthday, I said,
you know, what do you want for your birthday? She's like,
you don't have to get me a present. That's why
I loved my life. Wife keeps life simple and easy,
puts no pressure on me. So I didn't have to
get her a gift. It was don't have to she said,
but what you are would you really do? No? No No,
I didn't get her anything. She said, oh, you don't
(02:42):
have to give me a present. How'd that go? Cool?
It went great? So she meant it. That's weird. I mean, yeah,
I think she's probably secretly disappointed. Then, yeah, because she
didn't have to. But in Austin, if you would have,
but when she says, hey, oh, don't worry about it.
It's great. May she say, don't worry about it, or
you don't have to get me a gift. Well, that's
just different things. We had a cake and we saying
(03:04):
happy birthday, and that was it perfect. That is why
I love my wife. I mean, yeah, I guess he
likes that she's low maintenance. I still think she wanted
to gift. Yeah, but what about his birthday? I do too,
Like is he expecting a gift from her? Course? Yeah,
I always expect the present. It's my present. Yeah, yeah,
so he's to Lunchox's pot LUNCHALKX. Would never say to her,
(03:27):
you don't have to get me. Yeah, I can't wait
to see what you're getting me from my birthday. That's
what I would tell her. All Right, I think, what's
seventeen years in we've been together seventeen years. Here's Amy everybody, Okay,
so we've I told y'all Mike d got an early
screening on my movie, and I don't know when he's
gonna watch it. But I am very nervous about it,
Like I thought about it all last night when I
(03:47):
was sleeping. Yeah, I'm a little mortified for everyone to
see it. But especially my d because he critiques movies.
So on the show, probably Monday Movie Mike, we'll review
Amy's movie, Oh Boy, Holiday Harmony. I mean, the movie
is gonna be great, I have no doubt about that,
but I'm nervous about that. Well. I mean, I feel
like the people that are behind it, I'm I know
(04:09):
they're super proud of their work. I think it's really cool.
I'm just nervous about him critiquing my scene. But there
are Tom Hanks movies the occasionally come out that are bad,
oh yeah, for sure, and people that have had great
track records to doing movies. Yeah. So I don't think
anything's free and clear. Hey, movie Mike Monday's show, all
we ask of you is be honest, as if Amy
(04:30):
had nothing to do with it. Ben, I will say
one thing. Christmas movies my least favorite genre. He's setting
you up though, because he's gonna be like the surprise,
pull the carton off a plus. Okay, well, Christmas reason
are my favorite. You know, when I was watching Laney
on Yellowstone, I didn't feel awkward even though I knew her.
I think because it's you gotta be really good, because
(04:52):
you're just like I know her really well, it's oh no,
it's gonna be awkward. You're gonna have to be such
a good actress that it's got to remove the awkward.
I zero acting lessons at all, whatsoever in my entire life.
Don't make excuses name. Yeah, hey, let's just go for it. Yeah,
she lady's taking acting now, he's a coach. No, I'm
sure for those things I heard, she did nothing. I
(05:12):
heard she d know she was acting. They just wow,
blindfolded her, dropped off and said, okay, say stuff amazing.
Okay right now, No, I'm not. We just haven't. No,
I'm actually like really pumped for her, and I'm pumped
for myself because I am using the same coach that
she has. Well, so we'll see what happens. We might
(05:33):
be honest. Okay is it that to me now? Yea, yeah,
go ahead. Ray from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He built her

her and sometimes makes fun of her. She doesn't want
him to come. I'm hoping that his mom and dad
don't our SVP. But if they do, can I tell
them what's happening and that we don't want them to come.
Thanks for your help, Sign mom baffled by the bully.
(08:24):
That's interesting that you would if they I would just
think it would either be you don't you don't invite them,
or you do invite them, you don't invite them, and
then go don't come. That's weird. But her hands are
tied because the school requires that. That's a weird thing
for a school to require something at home. I agree,
and I know why. I get it. Yes, but it's
(08:46):
a weird thing for the school to require something that
you're doing that's not at school, especially, you know, I
think this is maybe a good time to explain to
her why kids bully, and you could even teach her
sympathy for the bully, which may not last if he
still has a jerk after you exhibit the first bit
(09:06):
of kindness towards them. But you'd be like, look, this
is why he's probably mean, do you. It can be
tough at home. He might like you, boys are stupid
and they do. They react that way and these for
those reasons. You know, I think you probably invite them
and if they say yes, he comes and you work
(09:27):
with her on how to handle the situation. I think
that's probably the best learning example there. It is not comfortable,
won't be comfortable for her, but it could actually fix
the problem too. Let's say the kick comes over and
has a great time. Let's say he gets all the
snacks and has cake. He probably won't come. Now, I'll
be honest with you, Yeah he probably won't come, But
if he does, I think you it's uncomfortable. But sometimes
(09:50):
in life it's uncomfortable. And I know that's one in
our first grade lesson, but it could start there. Anyway
you think about this, man, I mean, it's definitely a
good learning moment, like you said, but I'm leaning towards
contacting the school and saying, hey, we're not going to
invite everyone because there is a bullying problem, and I
think the school can finally, Oh, I didn't know there
was a bullying problem. Let's see if we can handle
(10:11):
this too and put it on the school because the
bullying is happening at school, right. Yeah, but can I
say that if you don't invite this kid, he's the
only one not invited, and everybody comes back and was invited,
you think the bullying was bad, then it's gonna be worse. Yeah.
As someone who got to crap beat out of them
a lot. Anytime I did stuff with anybody else and
the bully wasn't there, I felt it doubley when the
bully was there. So I understand what you're saying, and
(10:34):
I for sure sign off on that understanding. But you're
gonna make them the one. Okay, wait till you get back,
because you're about to be the one real big Yeah,
that's not good and you don't want that for your child,
So that is a scenario I will lean back towards yours. Then. No,
I'm just telling you what it was like for me,
and think about that. Yeah, I've had to had this
conversation with my son before of like some kids that
(10:56):
were mean to him, and when I talk to him
about possibly why they were bullying him, he did open
up and he did start to have some compassion for them.
And so I think Bobby's method of having this conversation
with your daughter. It's a bummer that it is a
birthday and she might have to put up with it,
but the odds are he, like Bobby said, he's probably
not going to come. But when we're honest with our
kids about what's happening, I think we get more out
(11:18):
of it. It's probably gonna be nicer to you if
he's at your house and eating your cake. Yeah that's true. Honestly,
he's probably gonna be nice and it may fix it.
But here's a situation. If he still mean when you
go back to school after this, then the whole compassionate
thing is kind of out the door, because you can't
keep hugging on somebody who's stabbing you because it hurts.
So you do it once, maybe one and a half times,
and then the lesson is some people in life you
(11:39):
just get away from and you gotta get to that point.
I'm sorry, you have to deal with this. But I
think it's a good time to start the conversation. If
I had the bully over, give a big, extra big
piece of cake, show him love. He probably isn't getting it,
and that's why he's bullying. Good luck. And I know
that this email is about a first grader, but I
feel like a lot of adults hearing this, could you know,
benefit believe in this room every day relationship. We still
(12:02):
invite Lunchbox to our birthday already. Yeah, hurt people, hurt people.
Lunch Box is probably hurting at times. Yeah, and that's okay.
That's okay, buddy, No, not hurting. It's let's go skin
to skin. I'll give you a hug. No, I don't
need a hug. Okay, skink skin. I'm good. We've got
your That was about the clothes by time. Now for
(12:30):
fun fact Friday. Fun Fact Friday. These are the most
random but the most fun facts we could find. We
just searched the internet for the most fun things to
talk about. We have five of them. Amy, your first, Well,
this is fun, but it's also going to keep you safe.
A car that is going five miles under the speed
limit on the highway is more likely to cause an
accident that someone that's going five miles over the speed limit.
(12:53):
Did they say why anything? It's because, yeah, maybe when
you're going faster you go with the flow and like
it's easier getting out when you slow things down. I
don't know, but I kind of said this one for you.
Because you drive slow, I would think people would hit
you more than if you're driving slow, you would hit
them right. I would think you're clogging the road about
me saying I think that I do that. I think
you're right. Once Eddie drove up on me and was like,
(13:14):
who is this guy clogging the road? It was just
slowing traffic now, And sure enough it was Bobby, there's
a fifty five near work. This should be a seventy five.
Everyone was going about sixty sixty five. But I understand
why you're slowing down and you got popped one time.
You're talking to mister no ticket. I got a ticket there, yea.
And the speed lim it's fifty five and there's no
reason it shouldn't be seventy. But that was like, it
was funny because I was like maybe a year before,
(13:36):
so a year later you were still abiding by the
rules and going fifty five. That's amazing there are I
would say, if I looked at the pie, ninety percent
of that pie is me being a rule follower and
someone who is doing the right thing because it's the
right thing to do. And there's ten percent of me
who djaf And it's just like I'll break every rule
possible in my career. That's been what it is like.
(13:57):
I will push and kick walls down, but like life,
I ain't turning the jailer. Pay money. Yeah, I don't
want to be fine, that's wasted money. I can buy
shoes with that. You know what I mean? I know
what you mean. All right, it's got a lunchbox. Lunchbox?
What do you have? Koalas? You know those little koala bears.
They are so cute and everyone wants to cuddle with them.
Will be careful. A koala cuddle could give you chlamydia.
Half of the koala population has a strand of klamydia,
(14:18):
and if you're holding them and they pee on you,
you can be infected. I can for sure see some
of our dude listeners finding making a trick purposefully to
a koala and be like, oh you got pet on them?
Oh I can't believe it. Ye see what happened was
to see the koala gave me. Oh my god. They
search it out just so they have that excuse. Here's mine.
The Mall of America in Minnesota does not have a
(14:38):
central heating system. Which, by the way, it's the biggest
mall in the world. I've been there. It's amazing. It's huge,
and it's it's not hot heated. It does not have
a central heating system. A combination of skylights, all the
regular lights, and people's body heat keep it so warm
that they don't have to run any sort of heat
in the winter. Crazy to think our body and I bet, well,
(14:59):
you know you you're warmer if you're naked. So I'm saying,
if you're ever trapped somewhere where it's cold and you
have body to body or two people, you should be
skin to skin to survive. It's like sixty nine your
bedroom or seventy's better. I heard, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do
you know if you're ever like in a snowstorm and
you get trapped, if you kill the horse and cut
(15:20):
the insides out and get inside the horse and over
your body, that's the way to stay warm. Really, you
gotta gut. It gonna take a while. You might freeze then,
but then you can get inside of it. It's warm,
all right. Let's go over to Morgan. The average person
spends just two weeks of their life sitting at traffic lights.
Just two weeks, just two weeks more. There's an impression
(15:42):
you made every traffic light. And I'm at the light right,
I'm on the car in the front of the line.
Here's an ipressure of me. Huh oh, I should go oh,
they're honking you. Yeah. Oh. Because it's the only time
I look at my phone when I'm sitting in traps safe,
I will not. I won't occasionally glance up maps if
I'm in a map. But that's why a bad thing?
(16:03):
Why does the worst? If have a map, I will
be looking at it sometimes, but I don't text on
it while I drive, but I will if I'm sitting
in a light. Totally go full tweet, Eddie. Guys, Superman
didn't always fly, so the very original Superman, he was
just a leaper. He would jump from building to building building.
But then in the nineteen forties the animators were like, guys,
it's just hard to draw the bend knees like you know,
(16:26):
so like his legs are at an angle, so let's
just make him straight and he'll fly. And so ever
since then he flies. It's pretty lame. Superhero is that crazy?
He just leaped from building the building. But they were like,
this is just too much work. Let's just make him fly.
That's pretty cool. See you look at all these fun facts.
You could take away your work or over the weekend.
That's why it's fun Fact Friday, Thank You fund. It's
(16:49):
time for the good news. Good So when you're battling cancer,
it's kind of becomes your job for you and your family,
and it can be really taxing. So having a place
to get away and go, especially for free, would be
pretty awesome, right, Well, a lot of patients are getting
to do that thanks to this one woman's nonprofit called
(17:11):
Little Pink Houses of Hope. Her name is Janine Patton Cobble,
and she's in remission for breast cancer herself, so she
knows what it's like to battle cancer and what she
does is around the country she convinces homeowners and property
managers to donate their homes for a week long stay
for patients, Like She'll go to them and say, hey,
can you take this one week out of the year
(17:31):
and donate it to this patient that would like to
get away with their family. And that's how she's able
to pull it off and do it and they get
a free stay. So I just thought that was a
really genius thing that she came up with. Yeesh, changed
a lot of lives doing that. That's a great story. Yeah,
that is what it's all about. That was tell me
something good. Friday morning conversation with Brookshields brood morning. How
are you? Oh good? How are you? I'm doing pretty good.
(17:54):
I was listening to your podcast. Man, you guys go
right at it. I mean, it's like it's like real
deal stuff. It's a you go right to the point.
It's very vulnerable, but it's also like super authentic. What
you're so famous? Did you have some some urge to
just put it all out there? Finally? You know? It's
it's funny. I just when you've been around this long,
you sort of find that there are only certain areas
(18:17):
in which you really get to be authentically yourself and heard,
and that's in writing a book or doing something that
is relatively life like like a podcast. I never really
set out to do a podcast, but now what came
to my mind one day and I said, you know,
everybody that you think you know, or that you have
(18:39):
an expectation about or a preconception, they've all had these
now well at moments, and I thought, I think people
know that I'm not going to try to catch them
in something, but I'm vulnerable enough so that they feel safe,
you know. I mean, it's it's an odd thing. I'm
having so much fun with it. I'm getting better at it.
I was a little I was a little not very
(19:01):
journalistic in the beginning. I basically, having been on the
other side for so many decades, I would find myself
giving them permission not to answer any of the questions.
And then I got better at it. Have you found
yourself sharing a story and then going oh, man, was
that did I just share too much? Like havn't actually question?
And then you allowed it to exist? But then you
(19:23):
were happy you did. Well. What would be an example
of that where you were like, oh, I'm really putting
it out there. I think, you know, really just airing
insecurities in a way that is not polished. You know,
I will say a book you can sort of you.
You can work with words and you can sort of
get what you want out, but but you're still sort
of hiding behind a book. And I think just admitting
(19:47):
to being scared at times and really insecure and and
you know, falling into the traps that other women over forty.
I'm fifty seven, but sel and you know, as you're
saying it, you think, oh God, am I going to
sound like I'm whining or poor me? And and then
(20:07):
you listen to it and you're thinking, no, it's just
I'm I am a woman like many other women, and
we all go through things. So that's scary at first,
but then when you hear it, you think, I've been
really honest. How are you getting I know the answer
probably because you're just cool and have a lot of
cool friends. But are you get a lot of a
A plus less guests? Do you have to lure them in, like,
come on, guys, trust me, it's a lot of fun.
(20:28):
Or are they just pretty willing to hop in as well?
I think they're pretty willing to hop in. I mean
a lot of it is, you know, around they don't
want to do it unless they're promoting something, which I
totally understand, or if it's too close around a certain
incident that is so fraught in people's minds, you know,
they're a bit hesitant. And but nobody has said anything
is off limits. And there have been people that have
(20:51):
been that are very clear in how they want to
answer the question before the question even gets asked. And
there are some that are, you know, just very skilled
at not answering the question. And even those people have
at the end said, wow, you kind of got that
out of me. But it didn't feel mean, or it
didn't feel like an I got you a moment, or
(21:13):
it didn't feel like it pulled out headline that that's
what's gonna that's the sound bite that we're gonna just
base the whole interview on. I did see a clip that,
again was a sound bite, because again, you do you
talk about so much. But I saw there was one
where you were talking about actors that you had dated,
and it kind of became a big story. Do you
know sometimes when you're telling these stories that it's probably
(21:33):
going to be picked up? Yeah? Oh yeah. I mean
I joke with my publicist because I'll say, I'll say
under my breath, I'll say SoundBite or you know, that's
the headline, and it becomes just a game because it
seems so reductive and typical, and you know what I mean,
(21:55):
it's like everybody's desperate for the for the sound bite
and the one line. You know, this has started since
I was a virgin, and that became everybody's main focus,
which is ridiculous on many levels. So I've been dealing
with this for a few decades. Now, do you feel
like you had at all a normal childhood? You know,
(22:17):
I've been asked that question forever, and I don't know
what normal is Conventional. No, when other kids were playing
soccer or whatever the sports were, I was going to
photo studios at Avadans and Scolulo, and you know, doing
I was earning a living, so it's not conventional. But
(22:38):
my mom never let me leave go to professional children's school,
and I never lived in Los Angeles until until I
was doing a television show, and so there was this
work life and then real life, and real life was
with my mom and then with my dad in separate
families and regular school. So for you know, until I
(23:01):
was twenty in my twenties, well twenty one, I was
in a regular school schedule, and that was about as
normal and as normally pressured as it can be. My
vacations were not conventional, and my extracurricular activities were not,
but my mom always made the production send a girlfriend
(23:23):
with me or send my sister with me, and so
I always had this sort of grounding of a twelve
year old, a thirteen year old, a fifteen year old.
I wasn't always surrounded by adults, so the two of
us could sort of get together and giggle about how
crazy we thought adults were. So to me, I think,
I think it's actually pretty normal, almost more normal than
(23:45):
some of my normal friends. Do you what I find
super impressive about you is that you at Princeton? I mean,
do you find people are often shocked at that fact?
Always they were shocked the day I got in, and
then the whole kind of campaign started with why did
she get in? Did she just get in because she
was famous? And then when I get to school, all
the teachers wanted to make sure that they weren't giving
(24:08):
me any extra ten, so they graded me harder and
they were, you know, less, they just because they had
something to prove as well. And then over time, just
my work ethic was so intact. What was strange was
coming out of college my freshman term, first term, freshman year,
(24:30):
and having a press conference because they thought, you know,
if you do a press conference about what it's like,
what your you know, your real life is like, they'll
leave you alone. And the press were shocked by a
level of maturity that they hadn't seen in me prior. Yeah,
(24:51):
I wasn't looking to anybody for my answers anymore. I wasn't.
I wasn't worrying that an answer wasn't going to be okay.
And I was using bigger words, you know, because here
I am at Princeton thinking I better use bigger words.
And I don't think they liked it. They didn't like
non malleable Brook. Suddenly Susan was a show I'll watched
(25:12):
all the time, loved it, And a lot of these
shows are coming back reboot form. Have they come to
you and said, let's do Suddenly Susan again? If they did,
I'd probably say yes without even them getting the question out.
But I don't think that we were ever. First of all,
they canceled us at ninety eight, so we never Yeah,
it was all a nice little plan that they had intact,
(25:33):
which I didn't know about, which I will say I've
got a little bitterness or maybe a lot of bitterness
about that, but not from a syndication financial standpoint, just
from you know, how wonderful it was to do that show.
I mean, we just were so happy, and then tragedy
befell the show and we lost one of our cast
(25:55):
members and it kind of was never the same again.
And I think I I think Warner Brothers or NBC
would probably argue we were never a big enough hit
to merit a reboot. Now shows get picked up for
eight or nine. We never had a season that was
fewer than twenty three, twenty two, twenty six, you know,
(26:15):
so it in these days that would be a huge hit.
And then back then, you know, we didn't get two hundreds,
so they sort of checked us off. I can't believe
they got it to ninety eight purposeful. Yeah, well then
that's almost mean. I mean, that's mean. Well, I think
it's a financial thing. I mean, all these things end
up being financial. You know, we think they're personal because
we're living in it day in and day out, and
(26:37):
we're performing in front of a live audience and we're
having to think on our feed and we're getting new
scripts every day, so we're so in it, and and
then you realize, oh, it's just a money game. After
a certain number, this entity doesn't pay for a production anymore.
It switches over to this entity and they may or
may not want to do that. So it's the same
(26:58):
thing would happened suddenly Lipstick Jungle. We were number one
for a while and then TiVo came into existence, and
practically overnight all of our advertisers pulled out because people
were fast boarding through the commercials. So it didn't even
matter how much people loved us watching us, they wanted
(27:21):
to fast forward through the commercials, and there for all
that money practically overnight gets now you know, now they've
found ways around it. But we were right at the
on the sort of precipice of TiVos, so that was
sort of you know, that happened too. So these things
you'd think they're mean only because they feel personal. And
the older I get, the less personal I realize it
(27:44):
all is right. Now we're talking to actress Brookshield, Hey,
how good are you at memorizing scripts? So I have
about twelve pages to do tomorrow for this project that
I'm doing and I have not started to memorize it.
But you can. You can do do all twelve of
a night. Yeah, I can. I have this. It's some
a you have to put yourself in a position where
(28:05):
you can still listen, and that's the that's the trick,
so that you're not just reciting words. But I memorize
things based on where they are on the page. So
when I think about where a page as I haven't highlighted,
I'm such a geek boat. I mean, I highlight and
I note and I make red notes. And my husband says,
(28:26):
you're such a dork, But um, yeah, I don't. I'm
I'm trained to have to think quickly. You know a
lot of the time when you do these commercials, before
they had teleprompters and before they had in back in
my day, you know, or in the day. I still
feel like it's my day, but you didn't have teleprompters.
(28:47):
You had to memorize everything. And so I think I
just got trained. Brookshields is on with us and I
encourage you guys to check out our podcast Now what
with Brookshields. It is a very authentic, very vulnerable. It's
an original podcast that examines pivotal moments and people's lives. Again,
it's very honest. It's a great podcast. And then also
coming from you, that's a that's a big deal. I mean,
(29:08):
this is I'm coming into a world I've I've never
been in, and um, then it's been very well received,
and I thank you. And I didn't think people would
really want to hear me anymore in my life and
people do se do want to be interested in hearing
my guests. Well, I hope people check it out. And
then there's also Holiday Harmony coming out on HBO Acts
(29:28):
and so when that when a movie like that comes
to you, and we have a special interest here with
that movie because if you put the camera on Amy
for one second, Amy has like four line five lines
are still on the movie. Yes she does, and you
see her in the trailer. I mean, for he looked
so beautiful in the trailer about you. I didn't get
to meet you, Oh, I know. I was there the
last day of filming, so you've already done with your scenes,
(29:48):
and I was definitely excited to possibly see you. So
to see you now fun. So I was I was
way up with the alpaca farmers and up in Northern
cal they bring me to Hollywood. How does like a
Christmas movie? Because it's been Amy's dream forever to do
like a holiday movie, and now they're super cool again,
and how does a Christmas movie come to you? Do
(30:11):
you go, I'd like to do a holiday movie because
they are so cool now, or do they go Brook
we got this perfect idea. It's a really good movie
for the holidays. For a while, holiday movies were sort
of taboo, you know they were they were sort of, Oh,
you're doing a Hollywood movie. That means like it's not
I mean, you're doing a Christmas movie or a holiday movie.
That means that you're not doing real edgy stuff. Well,
(30:31):
for sure, all I've never really been a g in
that way. They come to me and I'm prepared to
not like them because they're pretty formulaic. And then every
now and then one will come up, or two now
and to twisted my second one, but that will touch
(30:52):
a chord and be an escape. And I think that
that's what that's what I love about them, is if
the especially if they're directed well, and if they have
enough of a story that does deviate from just the
regular holiday Christmas formula movie, and I mean I read
a lot of them, and I don't say yes to
(31:15):
most of them. I did one last year for Netflix,
which was extraordinarily popular and it was so much fun
to do, and it was called Castle for Christmas. And
these movies come out again. It's funny because then they
bring them back out again for the next holiday and
they're sort of like, oh, I just think for me
(31:35):
rom coms. Holiday movies they're based in joy. You sort
of know how they're going to turn out, but you
still want to be on the journey with it and
just looking at the news and just being in the world.
It's just so hard these days that these kind of
movies are wonderful escape. I would compare holiday movies now
(31:55):
to game shows, where for a long time I wouldn't
take a game show because I was like, game shows
are and if I ever do and host a game show,
then I'm always going to be a game show host. However, then,
but now they're really cool again. I think Steve Harvey
kind of brought that back where you could be a
real talent and be funny, and then everybody's doing game shows,
and now everybody wants to do a game show I would.
I think those two kind of run alongside each other.
(32:16):
I think you made a great point there. For a
long time it was like, we don't want to do that,
but now like you almost want to do host a
game show or a holiday movie. Well, you know, it's
funny because everything is, you know, everybody, there was a
time when oh, you would never be a TV actress?
Oh god, no, you know, and then you know, Helen
Hunt comes and does you know? Mad about you? And
(32:37):
I was obsessed with it and I was like, wait
a minute, she could do it. I can do that.
And prior to them, you wouldn't touch TV, you know.
And then there are all these sort of taboos that
come around, and I think, slowly but surely, the joy
that is in all of these emerges and everything's I
don't think there's anything off limits anymore. I think the
(32:58):
crossover is I mean amazing. You know, look at what
Julie Roberts and Clooney just did a did a rom
com sort of movie like that, and we just flock
to it because it opens up your heart a little
bit and it's escapism. Well, Brooke, we're big fans, and
I hope everybody checks out now what with Brooke Shields.
(33:18):
It's a wonderful podcast, and I hope they check out
Brooke and her co star Amy. Yes. Yes, Holiday Harmony
on HBO Max. That is out November twenty fourth, which
is Thanksgiving, right, yeah, it's Thanksgiving Day. And I was
told by Lauren Swickard, who's one of the writers and producers,
that I guess like technically am a supporting role. That's
my Oscar Oscar. Then you're competing against Brook and for
(33:43):
supporting actress. Yes, yes, yes, Brooke, big fan. Thank you
very much, good luck with the podcast, and we appreciate
your time this morning. Thank you, appreciate yours. Hope to
see you in person one day. All right, Caroline from Austin, Texas. Okay,
I know this is I go running joke secret whatever.
Will there ever be a moment in time where you
(34:05):
guys will tell us what NLR means? Lunchmarks and I
have used this for fifteen years. We rarely use it,
but if we really want to dial in and go,
are you telling me the truth? Like all jokes aside,
radio aside, bits aside's aside, we go NLR. We just
don't really talk about what it means. It's kind of
(34:27):
much of our code. Yeah, we've had longer than fifteen.
I mean when I joined the show over sixteen years ago,
y'all were doing it, and I still don't know what
it means. Oh, there you have it, so no, I
guess you won't, Caroline. I hear Stephanie and Kentucky. Hey,
Bobby Morden's studio, I need you to settle a debate
for me. I need to know is it all of
(34:49):
a sudden or all of the sudden? I don't think
I know the right answer, but I know how I
say it. All of the sudden, all of the sudden. Again,
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna bet any money on it,
but I say, all of this sudden, that's crazy. What
the real one is? You say? Uh, I'm like you, Amy, Yeah,
all of a sudden, all of all of the sudden.
(35:10):
I was out, do your teas here for the pile,
and we'll find out what it is after this because
I don't know what it is. But and I say
a lot of things wrong, like slang because the South.
My vernacular is very Southern. He's Amy's pile of stories.
So if you're doing grocery shopping this weekend for Thanksgiving.
I highly recommend it because you're going to get to
(35:31):
the store ahead of time, and it's been of going
next week last minute. And if you don't want to
make homemade gravy, well, a gravy test was done and
the best canned gravy was revealed and it is found
at Walmart. What is it? It's the great value going
to Walmart? Wmart? Here? Where is it? It's the Walmart
brand great value, which is awesome because you're going to
(35:53):
get a great value on it too. Well, here's the thing.
If you do go early, like Amy's saying, yeah, you'll
still go right before. He doesn't want to get as much.
There's always something you've always gotta go. You just don't
want to have to go and get a lot of things. Yes,
but great values number one. Yeah, the least favorite turkey
gravy went to Trader Joe's. The saltiest turkey gravy went
to High and the best and then the middle of
(36:14):
the road gravy Campbell's. So there you go, that's your
grave vy. Are gonna be that pick? Give it in
one or two graves up there. I love white gravy
way more than brown gravy, but thanksgivings brown gravy. Thanksgiving
is whatever I like to eat to give thanks, it's
always white gravy. You got her? Yeah, I mean traditionally no. No,
But you're just saying based on what you like and
(36:35):
what you've been accustomer. No, I like white gravy. You're
hater white gray hat. I don't even like gravy. What
else you got? Okay, so we're over halfway through November.
Have the holidays officially started for you, like the Christmas season? Yeah,
because I've already been buying guest for people. You feel it, okay, Yeah, already? Yeah. Wow. Well,
it's just this is a robust list, and so there's
(36:56):
also an expectation on me. Therefore, I was always somebody
who got all my homework done. Maybe not always ahead
of time, but I was always in a good place
to be able to do it effectively and do a
good job. And I do that now with how I
live my life too. Christmas gifts included well, people were
asked when the Christmas spirit starts for them, and the
number one answer was a tie between putting your tree
(37:18):
up that's when it becomes official and hearing Christmas music
on the radio for the first time, that's when you
know Christmas is here. Yeah, but unless you're on a
Christmas station. Really, stations don't do it anymore until it's
like the twenty third or two. Oh really, yeah, it's
a different time. Maybe it's just the first song you
hear because we played were I think we were probably
the first. We did Brett Eldress, we were like, all right, first, yes, summer,
(37:41):
it's the most which. Speaking of Brett Eldridge, he tested
out some music on his nephew. It's a song called
You'll Be Mine and here is the unplugged version be Vership.
He has Nevvy's a baby and he was playing guitar
(38:02):
on a bed for the baby and the baby's like,
let me touch the guitar, and he's like, no, no,
I'm doing a thing here, let me play. You gotta
go to Bret's Crostment show if it comes near year.
We asked for tickets for you. Yeah, I think I
think you got him. Oh okay, cool, Yeah, yeah, I'm
so excited. Randomly gotta go. Texted Brett and I was like, hey,
let me four tickets to that show in New York.
(38:23):
It was like a coming to New York. I was like, well,
they're not for me. He's like, oh, okay, isn't there
a framie, a friend and kids. He's like, oh, all right,
let me let me see if I sold out. Let
me see it. And I was like, well, don't worry
about don't worry about it. Oh god no. But then
he's like, I got no, it's no problem. They kick
some people out. Well, that's the thing that the wheelchair.

asking him. You're a friend, no problem. Yes, okay, thank you,

It's time for the good news. Guys. Get ready, We're
(39:12):
about to go on an emotional roller coaster. Man Dakota
has been with his girlfriend Lauren for seven years, and
he finally decides, you know what, I'm gonna go buy
an engagement ring. He buys it, and he hides it
in the closet, waiting for that day to propose. Get

a couple of weeks later, the wind starts picking up.
It's a tornado take cover and their house is destroyed.
(39:36):
They lose everything, The engagement ring is gone. He's devastated.
He has to go to Lauren and say I had
the engagement ring. It was hidden in the house. It's
lost forever. But then the Paris Community College softball team

we're not leaving until we find it. Hour later, seven
yards away, two centimeters under the dirt, they find the
(39:57):
engagement ring and the code there. Yeah, that's what it says.

one knee and he proposes looking pass out. Y'allah. This
